The group is run for non-Welsh speakers who want to learn to read, speak and understand some Welsh. This group has been running since January 2010 so existing members of the group have covered the basics of the alphabet and pronunciation as well as learning useful language patterns and vocabulary. We are using the book "Cwrs Mynediad" (Entry level course for adult beginners) published by the Welsh Joint Education Committee. I will continue with this course in September starting with a quick revision of the basics.
